Good Night, and Good Luck

sch's just been a whirl... a whirl of blurness, slpiness and not knowing what's happening. it sucks when u're behind so much in work cuz u've only mugged 2 days the past month for less than 2h each time... n sucks even more when u miss lotsa lessons. i'm just not a morning person, can't function in the morning feeling groggy and all. i'm definitely a nite person, n not an after meals person... lol!

yeah, so after brain sapping tutorial + prac killer combo, went for a relaxing hairwash + cut, boy the guy really gave such a nice massage :) and yeah, collected the ray ban sunglasses i ordered for abt half price (compared to taka). the shopkeeper said it looked really nice on me, 2 thumbs up she gave! haha

tennis later on, hitting the ball a lil better, but still, no rhythm... :/ but anw, what i wanted to talk abt is this movie i just watched, Good Luck, and Good Night. its a really good movie i reckon. more of a documentary like type of film. rather intellectual, and really subtle. gets you to think a bit, and it helps if u have a lil prior knowledge on mccarthyism.

well, as i was watching it, i was commenting to cm tt i felt tt all singaporeans should watch this. see how we shouldn't be apathetic to what's happens ard us, even if its political or military affairs tt seem a lil out of our reach. its still relevant to us. and also, it struck me tt in a way, our media freedom currently, isn't even as much as in the 1950s in the US, during a time when tensions were high during a cold war. i really dunno what to make of it. hmmm...

and there also had to be a brave soul, who'd stand up to mccarthy and take him down. a catalyst. well, tt catalyst happened to be in the media circle, always a huge advantage. but he was risking a lot on the line to do what he did. really applaudable.

today, the danish minster said tt it has always had great ties with the muslim world. tt was its response to a cartoon drawn in their press tt angered muslims in indonesia. he said they wun apologize or do anything abt the cartoon cuz it would compromise on press freedom.

well, this short lil thing i wrote here, is obviously nothing much, and i'm just grappling at straws, n not putting my points across cuz i'm tired. oh well.

really miss literature n our diversity of studies in sec sch. 10 subjects, that's great.. we'd be so much more well rounded, unlike now. but guess we eventually must specialise. haha. anw, guys, lotsa nice movies to watch... go get them all! seems like many pple have watched brokeback mountain already... must be all the publicity its getting... lol
